If you would like to have a “world class” blessing I can tell you where to find it. Just read Kayleigh McEnany’s latest book “Serenity in the Storm — Living Through Chaos by Leaning on Christ.”
She says in this book: “It is my joy to bring to life the key cultural and political issues of our time. From the fall of Afghanistan to the Supreme Court’s abortion decision, analyzing world events through the lens of faith and providing readers with serenity in the storm. Our world, without question, is experiencing aberrational times. The ravages of life-altering realities of COVID 19 that I worked through as White House press secretary were just the start of it. What followed was a series of history-defining events. From the fall of Afghanistan to the nationwide crime wave, we have all endured painful images of death, destruction, and chaos. Meanwhile radical teachings on gender and race have infiltrated our nation’s schools, poisoning the minds of our children — all at a time when our country feels more divided than ever before.
“Along with these 21st century realities can come a feeling of despair and discouragement. Indeed, I hear it all the time as I crisscross the country. Americans feel disheartened and seek hope. Serenity in the Storm provides that hope. Despite all the challenges we face, there is cause for great optimism for men and women of faith. In Afghanistan, the underground church is thriving. On key issues of life and liberty, the Supreme Court of the United States has delivered enormous and consequential victories. In our schools voters have spoken unmistakably against the insidious doctrines of critical race and gender theory. There is no doubt that God is at work as He hears the prayers of the faithful.”
She continues by saying: “As a proud American, as a mother of two children, and, mostly as a Christian, I find myself worrying about the state of our country. It feels like we are moving from crisis to crisis in a society that has lost its way, neglecting truth, and rejecting the concept of right and wrong. But then I am reminded of God’s promise in Philippians 4:6-7: ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus’.
“This powerful truth provides the answer to overcoming adversity, dealing with pain and suffering, and remedying the societal maladies of our time. In life, many storms will take us by surprise, but in Christ we may find serenity in the storm.”
This book was written by a young woman who has a Catholic education and later graduated from Harvard Law School with a Juris Doctorate and the Georgetown University School of Foreign Services with a degree in international policies. She also studied politics and international relations at Oxford University. Kaleigh is a recipient of the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service. She is also the author of the New York Times bestseller “For Such a Time as This” and “The New American Revolution.” Get a copy of her latest book and read it, and you will be blessed.
